Erratic

Sometimes a name for something will explode fully formed into my brain, long before the toy or whatnot is created (like the Cabbages) and other times it is the shapes or fabrics that start the process and the name can elude me.

Do you have a name for these cheerfully round rhinos?

They could technically be pincushions but I think they are just small toys. A perfect little hand hold toy for smooshing around, or stacking up, or using as an excuse to go and buy macaroons from your favourite Ballarat cake shop.

If you guys get to work in the comment box with your ideas, and I go and make apple pies for desert…It’s like I am multitasking isn’t it?

(and if someone knocks it out of the park with the perfect name I’ll send them a little rhino of their very own - or an apple pie, location permitting)

Are you making or planning to make stuff this weekend or just hanging out doing my job for me?

I think Rhinosaur sounds cute! I really love your blog and the lovely things you make. I think i've been reading it for about a year and I always look at other peoples blogs through your blog list - you have some great ones listed. Anyhow, just thought I'd finally say hello :)Cheers,Rachael :)

I'm thinking Ramses? Love the line from the musical Joseph and the Amazing Tecnicolor Dreamcoat.... "If you ever find yourself near Ramses, get down on you knees." As usual your work is wonderful and these darling little rhinos are no exception.

I think Viola has a nice ring to it. Or Morgan if a boys name is need.I am trying to sew this weekend. I am currently working on an Alice in Wonderland doll, but it is not going to plan.How do you do it? Make what's in your head come out on the machine I mean. The legs and arms are working but the neck and body, at this point are making me angry. But this is only the first draft ... I did successfully make a Princess and the Pea last weekend so maybe Alice will fall into place by tomorrow afternoon.

I will take a rhino as payment, pie will not travel well in the mail LOL :-)

I like my apple pie with real cream please. I think 'Precious' is a cute name, but I love every other name suggested so far too. So good luck with your decision making, shouldn't be too hard????????????

I like the Rhinosaurus idea. But there's really nothing wrong with Cheerfully Round Rhinos as a group name. I love how they "respond" to so many different names.I am tackling mounds of paper: downloaded patterns, photocopied patterns, blog tutes, block of the month, on-line freebies, extras and bonus blocks. Mostly quilting, lots of bags, various gift and holiday projects, kids' clothing (for grandsons)--- and etc. Not finding what I was looking for, almost forgetting what that was in the onslaught of other ideas, pulling out fabrics for potential Xmas gifts, trying not to let stacks of "organized" print-outs in their plastic page-protectors slide onto the floor before they find their way into three-ring notebooks. And if I manage to find notebook space for all this paper, what will I have? Nothing! Maybe I'll go sew something instead.

They're Reggie Rhinos, definitely.Today was a day of stuffing a couple of Scotty's by someone else and doing a little more work on a quilt. Then it was off to Tarneit to pick up some lights Vic scored for my going-to-be-sewing room, once the kids move out of it.I do like apple pie! I also like rhinos. :)

Since you seem to have triplet rhinos, you need a set of triplet names... how about Harvey, Horace, and Hugo? Or you could just go with 'Hippo', if you've ever read the picture book, "A Porcupine Named Fluffy", by Helen Lester.

My fourteen year old votes for "Stephen". Dont know why, and as I have nothing better to add, i guess i will go with that!LOL!!They are great, they look like they are up to mishief really, trying to get into trouble while no-one is watching. That I guess would mean a name like Dennis (the menace)
